Sheldon Cassimy embarks on his fifth season with the Honey Badgers, and first in the role of head coach and assistant general manager. Cassimy’s promotion was announced March 7, becoming the fourth head coach in franchise history. He served as an associate head coach on Antoine Broxsie's staff last season following three seasons on Ryan Schmidt’s staff.

Currently lead assistant coach with the McMaster University men’s basketball team, Cassimy has helped lead the Marauders to sustained success during his three years with the program. 

Cassimy made his professional head coaching debut June 30, 2022 when Honey Badgers head coach Ryan Schmidt was forced to miss a game and Cassimy stepped in to guide the team to a 95-76 victory over the Guelph Nighthawks. Last season he filled in for Broxsie when the Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach was assigned to be with the Cavs during NBA Summer League. Brampton was 0-3 with Cassimy leading the team.

Cassimy also led the Honey Badgers at the 2023 Basketball Champions League Americas in the group stage and was on the sidelines for the club’s first game in Brampton at the CAA Centre on February 7 against Real Estelí from Nicaragua. 

Prior to joining the CEBL, Cassimy spent time as a lead skill development coach at the Canada Basketball Training Centre from 2017 until 2019. Cassimy also was an assistant coach at Ryerson University in 2016, and the University of Toronto in 2014. 

Cassimy attended Burnam University, where he played basketball and helped lead the team to four consecutive conference championships while obtaining a degree in Health and Wellness.
